"Roger The Engineer" is another of those albums that I feel don't really belong in the "greatest albums of all time" book. This album was alright but not brilliant. The guitarist who played on every song was great but the rest of the band, and the singer, didn't thrill me. There are quite a few catchy songs on this album that I liked and i'm sure they were successful singles when it was released. "Jeff's Boogie" is a particularly good track, it's so vibrant, fast and fun. It reminds me of the old 50's big band numbers, except with electric guitar. As allmusic points out it does contain some good psychedelic tracks but it's not one of the great albums of the decade. I give this album 3/5.
Tracks I enjoyed the most: Lost Woman, Over Under Sideways Down, Jeff's Boogie, Hot House Of Omagarashid and He's Always There.
